The legal situation is more complex and nuanced than the headline implies, so the article is worth reading. This adds another ruling to the confusing case history regarding forced biometric unlocking.
Nope.
Samsung A50 doesn’t have this option.
Will keep an eye out for it though.
Depends on the rom. It’s in Android since 9. Samsung definitely has it, but you have to enable it
I didn’t realize how many people didn’t know this so someone should probably post a PSA and quick guide in c/Privacy.
My Samsung A11 (android 12) has a “lockdown” option when you held the power button. It would turn off all biometrics and hide notifications. You may have to dig in the settings to enable it, though
You need to enable it. “show lockdown option”
If you don’t, just force power restart it. You can search this up online for your model.
